It's a Trap

I know what you want, before you start,
I know what you’re gonna say.
I know every word that you thought you heard,
I can’t make it go away.
You can paint it in a new light.
You can fake it, ‘til it’s just right.
You can call it what you like.
But don’t fall for it it’s a trap.
You’ll never get it back, never get it back.
Don’t fall for it it’s a trap.
You’ll never get it back, you’ll never…
It’s a rivalry based on make believe,
if you take them at their word.
In the present tense, hard to make much sense,
hard to make it work.
Just as soon as you’re certain,
there’s a lie behind the curtain,
it’s the reason you’re still hurting.
All in this life, all for gone.
